Well worth your time and money. My group went out with Derrik (sp?) and he was so friendly and attentive. I loved paddling in the sun and seeing the island from the ocean at a relaxed pace. We ended up hopping off and snorkeling with a turtle and holding urchins. This was a fantastic experience!

We booked a last minute kayak trip while on vacation. The company called us Friday afternoon and asked if we could change out Saturday morning kayak trip to a Sunday morning one (crazy big swells scheduled for Saturday). We had no problem rescheduling, and really appreciated the call in advance. Our guide, Derek, was amazing. We definitely felt safe in... More

We booked an early-morning Kayak/Snorkel excursion with Kelli’s through our hotel’s Expedia tour guide. I was hesitant to book this, as my neither my husband nor I had ever kayaked. Kayaking was surprisingly easy, thanks to our guide, Brandon, who gave a quick 10-minute lesson prior to heading out on the water. We were in a two-person kayak. There were... More

Firstly, Anne was incredibly helpful with letting us know what to expect and bring for the tour. Our guide's name was Scott. He ensured we swam with turtles and then for the best part....Whales are around us - we had the show of a lifetime! I will never forget the day out on the water.....My husband and I enjoyed every...

We missed our regularly scheduled corporate tour on Tuesday and the company agreed to honor our prepaid tour the next day. It turned out to be more than we hoped for. Our guide, Jeremiah, was a wealth of knowledge on everything Maui and gave us tips from eating fish tacos from a Jaws lunch truck to traveling through the lava... More

We ( husband and wife in our early 60s) went on a half day kayaking /snorkelling adventure with Kelii's Kayaking. Derek Quale was our guide. We had gone with the The Pacific Whale Foundation on a snorkelling trip earlier and the quality of the pictures was terrible even though they had assured us that the photographer was very experienced. Unlike... More

My wife and I love spending time on and in the sea. In Maui, we went on two kayaking & snorkelling trips with Kelii's Kayak Tours: a late morning tour with Scott from Olowalu and an early morning tour with Brandon from Makena Landing. Both tours were great fun. With Scott, we initially paddled offshore to look for humpback whales... More

Aaron was great knew the local area very well, lava flow & formations, sea life, real estate prices, and Hawaiian history.... More

Just got back from our morning 2.5 hour turtle paddle at Makena beach. It was a blast. Our guide Brandon was excellent. Very knowledgable, friendly and helpful. We were never in a rush and allowed to go at our own pace. The boats are easy to get in and out of, even for first timers. We saw a number or... More

One of the highlights of my Maui trip. Signed up for the Maui West Shore 2.5 hour trip on the 17th of November but were moved that morning to Makena Landing since the ocean was rough that morning. Makena might be a little longer drive from Lahaina, but who cares the snorkeling was awesome. Our guide was Brandon very laid... More
